STEP-BY-STEP

INSTALLATION INTO A

FACTORY BUILT

FIREPLACE

1) When installed in a factory built fireplace, a

full stainless steel rigid or flexible flue liner

is mandatory, for both safety and perform-

ance purposes. When a flue or liner is in

use, the insert is able to breathe better by

allowing a greater draft to be created. The

greater draft can decrease problems such

as, difficult start-ups, smoking out the door,

and dirty glass.

2) In order to position the flue liner, the exist-

ing rain cap must be removed from your

chimney system. In most cases the flue

damper should also be removed to allow

passage of the liner.

3) In most cases opening the existing spark

screens fully should give enough room for

the insert installation. If it does not, remove

and store.

INSTALLATION INTO A MASONRY FIREPLACE

The insert must be installed as per the require- ments of your local inspection authority. Three methods of flue connection are acceptable in most areas in the US, however a full flue liner is required in Canada.

1)Positive flue connection, where a large blocking plate and a short connector pipe is used.

2)Direct flue connection, where a smaller blocking plate and a connector pipe to the first flue liner tile is used.

3)Full flue liner, where a stainless steel rigid or flexible liner pipe is routed from the insert outlet collar to the top of the chimney.

Regency highly recommends the use of a full liner as the safest installation and provides the most optimum performance. Your retailer should be able to help you decide which system would be the best for your application.

3a) Full Flue Liner

(No Cleanout Required)

Note: A clean-out door is sometimes required, by your inspector, to be installed when either the Positive flue connection or Direct flue connection method is used.

The use of one of the connection methods listed on this page not only increases the safety of your insert by directing the hot gases up the flue, but will also help increase the unit's efficiency and decrease creosote deposits in the chimney.

When a connected flue or liner is in use, the insert is able to “breathe” better by allowing a greater draft to be created. The greater draft can decrease problems such as, difficult start-ups, smoking out the door, and dirty glass.

4)	If the floor of your fireplace is below the
	level of the fireplace opening, adjust the
	insert's levelling bolts to accommodate the
	difference. When additional shimming is
	required, use non-combustible masonry or
	steel shims.
5)	Measure approximately the alignment of
	the flue liner with the position of the smoke
	outlet hole on the insert to check for pos-
	sible offset. If an offset is required, use a
	proper stainless steel unit available with the
	chimney liner.
6) Once the above items have been checked,
	slide your insert into position after first po-
	sitioning the flue liner and offset if required.
	(Re-install raincap at completion of installa-
	tion).
